You Can Have The City After We Die, A Counter-Proposal to Rental Housing in Kitsilanoa

I love my partner, but Darren can be a little naive sometimes, so when he told me he thought the open house for rental housing at Cypress and West 4th will be quiet, I smiled and prepared for the worst. Still, as Kitsilano is known for being a free spirited community, it is easy to understand why he thought these homes would be accepted. Plus, this particular area of the West 4th BIA has some of the best restaurants in the city — who hasn’t heard of Fable, Rain or Shine Ice Cream, or Trattoria’s annual meatball eating competition. The 84 express bus with its high frequency connection to Skytrain and UBC, as well as the neighbourhood’s cycling infrastructure means that no matter how you choose to commute, the Downtown Core is literally minutes away. Top it off with a local owner simply wanting to leave a legacy and a place for his kids to live, and this project should have enjoyed widespread support.
